That word is ENGLAND." - Sir Winston Churchill

BBC identified man as “Muslim” when he was denied visa, “Indian” when he was arrested for sex abuse

Of course: for the establishment propaganda media, Muslims are victims only, never perpetrators.

“BBC Was Quick to Say ‘Kashmiri Muslim’ When Denied Visa, But After Reports of a Heinous Crime… Not So Much,” by Virginia Kruta, Independent Journal Review, March 7, 2017:

A sportsman was set to compete in the world snowshoe championship at Saranac Lake, New York, and he was ready to travel all the way from India to get there. That’s when Tanveer Hussain was informed that “current policy” would be preventing him from obtaining a travel visa.

The BBC reported on his plight, pointing out the fact that Hussain was not actually traveling from a nation that was affected by President Trump’s initial order:

The embassy in Delhi would not comment on individual visa applications for reasons of privacy, but emphasised that Indian citizens are not affected by the recent executive order.

Mr Hussain’s coach, Abid Khan, said all his documents had been in order.

“We had local government recommendation and also the invitation and verification letter from the New York snowshoe federation. But as soon as a lady visa officer at the US embassy in Delhi read our names, she went inside a cabin and came back after a few minutes. She said she was sorry, but that she could not help us due to the current US policy,” he told the BBC.
